New Never-Before-Seen Works from Visual Artist Guy Stanley Philoche
September 15, 2022 – September 27, 2022
New York, NY – September 2, 2022) - Cavalier Gallery will present never-before-seen works from Guy Stanley Philoche’s beloved series, “New York, I Still Love You.” The collection, which received massive acclaim during Miami Art Week, will be on view at the New York gallery from September 15th – 27th.
The “New York, I Still Love You” series is Philoche’s love letter to the Big Apple, a city he has called home for over two decades. A true celebration of NYC’s grit and undeniable charm, the collection was conceptualized during the pandemic and reflects the adversity that the artist has faced in the city that never sleeps, serving as a reminder that New York will never die.
“I wanted this series to remind people that New York City is one of the toughest in the world, and while we were down and out during the pandemic, we are coming back stronger than ever,” said Philoche. “The ever-changing landscape of the city over the last few years provided the perfect opportunity to spotlight what makes this city so special and one-of-a-kind.”
The collection of artworks showcases iconic New York City images from the soft pretzel and the Statue of Liberty to a Yankees baseball hat and a subway stop, framed in the style of a Polaroid picture. Throughout the last few years, Philoche would explore the streets with polaroid camera in hand, finding inspiration in the city’s small unique intricacies. A globally recognized artist, Philoche’s collection is a beautiful blend of pop, graffiti, realism, and abstraction.
A dedicated philanthropist, Philoche has made an unwavering commitment to help his fellow artists since the devastating toll the pandemic took on the art community. Throughout the last two years he has purchased over 150 works of art from up-and-coming global artists, creating The Philoche Collection. Philoche’s talents have been recognized by CNN, People Magazine, Reuters, Time Out New York, NBC New York, Palm Beach Daily News, the Kelly Clarkson Show, the Tamron Hall Show, and more.
The exhibition will be on display with all works available for purchase at Cavalier Gallery at 3 W. 57th Street, 4th Floor New York, NY 10019. Exhibition hours are Tuesday – Friday, 10 AM -6 PM and by appointment. For those interested in checking out the exhibition outside of open hours, appointments can be scheduled by calling 212-570-4696 or email: art@cavaliergalleries.comi.

About Guy Stanley Philoche:
Haitian-born modern artist Guy Stanley Philoche immigrated to Connecticut when he was three. As the middle child of three boys and coming from a family of sports enthusiasts whose passion he didn’t share, Philoche turned to art as his calling. While remaining close to his Haitian Roots, Philoche was the only son to buck his culture’s tradition of the entire family living together and struck out on his own – first attending Paier College of Art and then Yale. He now lives in New York City. For the past 15 years, Guy Stanley Philoche has been attracting international attention with his work and his impressive roster of solo shows. As an artist, Guy’s palette is strong and sophisticated. His layering technique has created a body of paintings so richly textured that one can hardly hold back from reaching out and touching the canvas. In fact, it is the artist’s intent and wish that the viewer will follow their desire to reach out and feel the different textures of his canvases. His work is for the viewer’s pleasure, to be fully enjoyed from a tactile standpoint, and he has varnished the canvases for exactly that reason.
